The US Botanic Garden, located at the foot of the US Capitol, hosts dozens of educational seminars and events at the Botanic Garden each month.  The agency was in need of an efficient way to manage event registrations and had a desire to provide a simple, easy-to-administer, online registration system to enable visitors to register and join wait lists for events.

After gathering requirements, Fig Leaf leveraged the  WYSIRegister Event Registration System  to create a secure, easy-to-use and easy to adminster registration system to be used by visitors and the USBG staff.  Fig Leaf leveraged the experience gained in training more than 15,000 students in Web technologies to create a Web-based registration system that integrats with the USBG back-end database and Content Management System.
